Fleetwood Mac's Mirage, 1982. My dad stole it 'cause he liked Gypsy so much. I did eventually replace it but for a while I hadn't bothered 'cause the "Greatest Hits" collection was enough.  For Buckingham, it's relatively weak compared to Tusk and Tango in the Night - the only non-single that's any good is Stevie's Straight Back.  Odd than in 5 years they would switch - Stevie's songs on Tango are the weakest (in my opinion, and I couldn't stand Seven Wonders, and still can't) but Lindsey's material (and production) is just astounding.

Billy Joel's 52nd St. I love the b-sides, Rosalinda's Eyes, Zanzibar, and one of my all time favorites, Stilleto. These days it's about the only Billy Joel album I still listen to. I've got various best ofs and the songs off 52nd St. and Capt. Jack are the only one's I can really listen to any more. The others, whilst still good, have been overplayed. (And then there's the deliriously happy phase with crap like "Uptown Girl". **shudder** I like my Billy darker.)
